Laptop screen - more information

[Hitman]

Hi. Not too long ago I posted about my laptop screen and how it was dying. If you didn't read it, I'll explain it again.

A long time ago, a strip of pixels on my laptop screen half died. There was colour in them, but the colour was lighter than what should have been displayed. I left it and thought not much of it. A week or two later, around 15% of the total screen "died". It stopped showing what it was meant to be showing, and instead it either displayed just a big black bunch of pixels, or strands of colourful pixels. I was annoyed at this. A few days later another 15% of the screen died on me. Right next to the other lot that died (all on the left side of the screen). It did the same - stayed black, however it occasionally flickered on startup, then died again. Yesterday another bunch of pixels went, making half the screen 'damaged'.

Now, the first part that went always shows coloured lines from the top of the screen to the bottom. The colours and amount change. The second part was half wanting to work yesterday. It was showing distorted parts of my desktop and if I moved a window it would also move on the distorted part. The third part just flickers from grey to black constantly.

I plugged my dads computer screen into my laptop and I can view the desktop perfectly without implications on it, so it's not the motherboard or some video card thing (not the best at computers here). I concluded that the (laptop) screen itself isn't dodgy/dead/stuck, because as I said, pixels come and go on the screen, yesterday it even showed part of the desktop but distorted.

All I can imagine it is is some sort of dodgy or faulty wiring somewhere in the connection from the thing that sends what to display to the screen.

Can anybody help me, either by telling me what the problem could be or how to fix it?

Sorry for the life story, just making it as detailed as possible.

Call your manufactor. They can probably explain what's happening. If you are still in your warranty they will probably replace it. This could be a sign of your Laptop screen dying.

As far as i am aware there is nothing you can do the "repair" the screen. You'd have to get a new screen altogether for it. If it's still under warranty then get on the phone to the manufacturer.

Yeh its most likely the wiring of your screen, just ring the manufacture, no point wasting money on new screen if its still in warranty

I got it just over a year and a half ago, from a big supermarket chain (carrefour, its like ASDA)... I dunno if it's under warranty, heck, I dunno if my dad even kept the receipt lol. It's Packard Bell so I might find out if they can do something.

All electronics has legally gotta give 1 year warranty im sure so

Carrefour, Isn't that in France? Try checking The Packard Bell, There should be a number there.

Carrefour is French, however it's very popular in Spain and it's everywhere, like Asda.

Does anybody know if there's anything I can do? I think I'll ring PB later...
